Welcome to Volume 15 of our master series featuring the master recordings of dime member "tapetyrant". The series will predominately feature captures in the Northeast and Southern California areas. We will touch on multiple genres with a strong focus on Jazz Fusion, New Wave and Rock. Tapetyrant was an active taper in the 1980's and much of the 1990's before, like many of us, hanging up the mics. What he captured during that time is uniformly excellent quality and his master tapes have been safely stored, the first batch are in pristine condition. Some shows may circulate from lower generation copies but most have remained uncirculated until now and have never circulated directly from the masters. Prior to DAT, the heavy lifting was entirely done by a Sony D5 with NAK 300's and taping was serious business, acquiring the best seats possible and working to keep neighbors in check. Volume 15 is the first of two Police shows TapeTyrant taped on the "Synchronicity" tour. Previous postings of this night include a 2nd gen from SH's master with "Syncrhonicity I" joined in progress (some copies may be missing the last song) and a 1st gen from "glastnostrd19" that is very likely from this source.

Once again TapeTyrant is at the top of his craft with another excellent capture, almost no audience noise with a wide frequency field. This direct from the master tapes source should be an upgrade and the best available version to date (your mileage may vary). The show features the first tour appearance of "Demolition Man". Thanks as always to goody for the pitch confirmation and of course continued thanks to "tapetyrant" for doing such a great job capturing these important shows, for reaching out and entrusting me to present his excellent work for all to enjoy for decades to come. We are indebted to his generosity (tapers don't let those tapes and your hard work get lost to the ages, there are plenty of folks to get in touch with here to help get them out, we're all working to leave no tape behind).
